Last Sunday I reviewed the recent WordWorld Holiday special that is currently airing on PBS as well as one of the toys available in the WordWorld toy line-up. Today, due to a lucky break, I am posting a corresponding giveaway just for you!

WordWorld, the popular children's PBS preschool show, is airing a new holiday special this December. We were offered a chance to watch the advance holiday screener and my daughter loved it! The episodes titled The Christmas Star and A Christmas Present for Dog will air several times beginning Dec. 1st. Make sure to check your local television listings to find out when it is on in your area!

We had the opportunity to try out the Mega Bloks WordWorld Bucket Set - Barn. The playset has been a really big hit with my daughter. The 49 piece set includes two WordFriends you can assemble (Cow and Pig), the tractor and cart, hay, a fence, windmill, and a shovel that all fit nicely into the BARN container. In addition, kids are able to use the 16 double-sided letter blocks to spell different words like CORN and ROPE. Best of all, the set can be used with other Mega Blok and Duplo sets for hours of play. My only complaint is that I wish more letter blocks were included so you could display the entire alphabet from A to Z. Luckily there are enough letters to spell out both my daughter's name and son's name, separately. I am unable to spell my own name with the letters that are included though. As a bonus, the set comes with a DVD that includes one WordWorld Episode.

My girls love WordWorld, and I think the creative concept behind it is excellent! I'd love to win this giveaway for them, so my suggestion for a new word character or word thing is UNICORN. My daughters both like unicorns, so I think it would be fun to see this one concept brought to life.
